For same day service on the weekend please order by 1pm Saturday and 11am Sunday. To find out if the item is available for delivery the same day choose the state and delivery type and then it will show you the first available day for delivery.

Saturday Delivery to Alaska and Hawaii
Only florist delivered products are available for delivery on Saturdays to
Alaska and Hawaii, shipped products are not available.

Funerals

These orders are our very highest priority. If you have ordered too late to make the funeral service we will call to let you know quickly so that you can make other arrangements or have something sent to the home of the family. If you do not know the zip code or exact address of the funeral home we will look it up for you. We normally contact the funeral home anyway to verify the time of the viewing and make arrangements for the flower delivery.
If you have selected a delivery date that is before the actual viewing we will deliver to the viewing per the funeral home instructions. If you have ordered for a funeral viewing and it is too late to deliver, we will contact the funeral home to verify the time of the viewing or service and reschedule the order.

Banners for Funeral Arrangements

Due to the time-sensitivity of delivering funeral orders, if a banner is not available, we will fill your order to value, substituting the banner with more flowers for an even fuller arrangement.

High Schools

High schools do not accept deliveries for
students. Please send teacher's gifts to the high
school and any student orders to their residence.
Orders to high schools should be placed
early because they usually must be received by 2pm.

PO Boxes

We are unable to deliver flowers to a P.O. Box or an A.P.O.
addresses.

***RURAL DELIVERIES***

In the rare instance we are unable to have a local florist deliver your order; we will have your order sent out to the recipient by one of our filling vendors so that the recipient can still enjoy the flowers.

Delayed Deliveries

For residential, hospitals, and nursing home deliveries, in the unlikely event that there is a delay in the delivery, the delivery will be attempted the next day. During major flower holidays like Valentine's and Mother's Day deliveries may be made as late as 9p.m.

For business deliveries, if the recipient is not there, the business is closed, or there is a delay in the delivery, then the delivery will be attempted the next business day.
Please note: the florist may call the recipient to schedule the delivery.

If no one is home

Depending on the delivery location, if the recipient is not available at the time of delivery, the delivery person may leave the gift in a safe place for the recipient to retrieve when they return, leave the gift with a neighbor, or leave a message for the recipient to call to arrange for delivery.

What happens if the recipient is not present at the time of delivery on a shipped product?

All 1 Candle .com shipments automatically have a "signature release," which means that the package can be left at the recipient's address without requiring a signature. In most cases, the delivery driver will knock or ring the doorbell and leave the product somewhere safe if there is no answer. If the driver feels it is unsafe to leave the package unattended (i.e. an apartment building with no doorman) they may require a signature. For wine baskets, someone over the age of 21, must sign for the package.

Service Fees

For florist delivered products the service fee and starts at $9.99. The actual price will be calculated and shown before checkout and depends upon factors such as delivery date, if the order is expedited, item, etc.

Incorrect Addresses

If the recipient's address is incorrect and delivery was attempted to the address, there is
a $10 address correction fee. 1 Candle .com is not responsible for
deliveries made to incorrect addresses submitted to us by the customer. If such a delivery is made,
the customer assumes responsibility for the entire purchase.
